Power Rangers followers are already properly acquainted with Renegade Game Studios, who have successfully brought our favorite Ranger heroes to the world of tabletop courtesy of their hit Heroes of the Grid game. That’s why it is nice information to listen to that they’ve prolonged their partnership with Hasbro to not simply embrace the Power Rangers franchise but in addition different Hasbro franchises like Transformers, G.I. Joe, and My Little Pony. Even higher is the truth that these franchises might be getting new roleplaying and deckbuilding games sooner or later, and for Power Rangers particularly, it means a brand new Dungeons & Dragons fifth Edition suitable Power Rangers role-playing game is in improvement.
The new fifth Edition suitable game is along with a brand new Power Rangers Deck-Building Game which might be out there to strive throughout Renegade Con, which runs from October ninth via the 11th, and is slated to hit shops in Quarter 2 of 2021.
“Hasbro has brought so much joy to fans through these worlds filled with rich narratives and iconic characters. We are excited to expand our relationship with Hasbro to help bring these stories to hobby tabletops in a new way, “explains Scott Gaeta, President and Publisher at Renegade Game Studios.
Gaeta also explained why they decided to go with a 5th Edition compatible experience as opposed to say developing a new system or tying into previous systems, like say the HyperRPG designed system for HyperForce.
“Part of the strategy here is that if we want a GI Joe fan to play an RPG, we want to use the system that’s most common and widely known,” Gaeta told Forbes. “Fifth Edition at this point is the common language in RPGs. We went back and forth on our discussions but we landed on Fifth Edition being what we wanted to use to achieve our design goals.”
“We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with Renegade Game Studios to include more fan favorite brands from our portfolio,” mentioned Casey Collins, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Global Consumer Products at Hasbro. “The tabletop and roleplaying games Renegade Game Studios innovated for the Power Rangers franchise have proved to authentically connect with both gamers and the Ranger Nation and we are confident that G.I. Joe, Transformers and My Little Pony fans will love the exciting games coming soon.”
We cannot wait to see what Renegade has in retailer for the Power Rangers RPG, and if we get extra games like Heroes of the Grid for G.I. Joe and Transformers, we’re all in!
